Job Evaluation/Salary Administration
One of the key preoccupations with employers today is the ability to both attract and retain employees. Part of the answer in addressing this challenge lies with your salary administration strategy. Where do you want to be in terms of salary? How much is your competition paying for the same skills? Are my salaries equitable? These are only a few questions you need to ask yourself when developing your overall salary administration strategy.

Equally as important, you need to have an objective job evaluation system in place. This ensures that every position is ranked objectively according to its overall role in the operation. This is important not only from a competitive point of view but also from a pay equity perspective where you must be able to demonstrate that all your positions have been evaluated using a gender-neutral system.

Once all the positions within your workplace have been objectively rated in relation to each other you need to translate your salary strategy into a salary scale.
